10 The foundation plantings required for the east side: Required: 6 large trees 19 large shrubs Provided: 2 large tree equivalents and 14 large shrubs equivalents 4 large trees and 5 large shrubs should be planted east of the retaining wall along the northeast section of building that runs parallel with the lot line. The foundation landscape requirements have not been met for the east building face. Sod and Ground Cover Standards All areas not otherwise improved in accordance with the approved site plans shall have a minimum depth of 4 inches of topsoil and be sodded including boulevard areas. Seed may be provided in lieu of sod in certain cases, including when the area is adjacent to natural areas or wetlands. The plan indicates sod in the common area in the center of the building, along the east and west building faces, and along the south edge of the parking lot and access road. Mn DOT seed mix 34-271, wet meadow, is indicated for the disturbed areas near the two stormwater ponds, and east of the retaining wall that runs along the east building face. Mn DOT seed mix 35-241, mesic prairie, is indicated for the disturbed area south of pond 300, and disturbed area near the wetland in the south of the parcel. Due to the area east of the retaining wall being higher in elevation, on sandy soil, and being quite exposed, a dry prairie mix should be better suited than the wet meadow mix proposed. Outdoor Lighting Per Section 1007.043(6)(d), no light source shall exceed 1.0 foot candle onto right of way or 0.4 foot candle onto adjacent property. The site photometric plan shows 5 light poles in the parking lot that are 25 ft. tall with downlit and cutoff light fixtures. The foot-candle measurements, light poles and fixtures meet ordinance requirements. Noise The 2020 AUAR Mitigation Plan states: • Require project proposers to follow all appropriate guidelines and policies related to traffic noise and noise walls.
